What was that night
Am I there
In the storm of your sleep
Have the you shaken me lose
From your evening hair
I've left memories there
And wrapped my face
In the taste of jasmine and rose hips
Have you unfurled me from your lips
Do I exist
Am I there
Burning in the cotton of your cigarette
Smoked past the golden ring that marks regret
Snuffed out in the overflowing ashes of every other lover
Did I shine
For just a moment in time
Am I on your mind
Am I there
When the wind blows strange
And the swing on your porch
Allows you to sway with your feet up
Can you taste me
At the bottom of a midnight cup
Of coffee and whiskey
Am I on the tip of your tongue
